Well, I followed her to the station   With a suitcase in my hand   Lord, I followed her to the station   With a suitcase in my hand      Well, it's hard to tell, it's hard to tell   When all your love's in vain   All my love is in vain      When the train pulled up to the station   And I looked her in her eye   When the train pulled up to the station   And I looked her in her eye      I was lonesome, I felt so lonesome   And I could not help but cry   All my love is in vain      Well, the train, it left the station   Two lights on behind   Well, the train, it left the station   With two lights on behind      Well, the blue light was my blues   The red light was my mind   All my love is in vain      Ooh, Willie Mae   Ooh, ooh, Willie Mae   All my love is in vain
